Developing Derby - Be Part of an Exciting City Experience

Venue: QUAD, Derby
Date:Monday 9th February 2009

Introduction

A special event organised by the tourism industry in Derby and Derbyshire. This conference is dedicated to making the most of the visitor potential created by our evolving city experience, especially in the face of the credit crunch.

Authoritative new research released by the national tourism organisation, VisitBritain, has revealed the opportunities and challenges in persuading Brits to spend leisure time at home during the current economic downturn. This event will share its findings to support you in your marketing during 2009 as well as give you top tips for marketing online.

To make the most of the opportunities afforded by the developments in Derby, we need to,

• be aware of how changes in Derby can increase the number of visitors to the region
• be part of how the changing experience is communicated to potential visitors

Although a tough year ahead is predicted, Derby is an evolving city with a fantastic heritage and an exciting future and we need to celebrate Derby’s developments. As well as hearing about Derby’s growth and plans for the future from key speakers, you will also be able to experience ‘Derby Under One Roof’ in a unique exhibition of Derby’s tourism related business. All this as well as an optional guided tour of Derby’s historic Cathedral Quarter!

The event will give you the opportunity to network, share best practice, listen to thought provoking speakers and return to work with new ideas for promoting your business.
